As one of the two mystical forces that spread throughout the world, the Templar Church possesses terrifying energy in both the secular and mystical worlds. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Less than an hour after receiving the call from Justisa, Father Rimasa had completed his investigation and disguised the scene as a fire.
A few hours later, the morning newspaper and TV station broadcast the news with the news that "in the early hours of this morning, a fire broke out in a private house in the northwest of Dongmu City, causing the house to collapse and killing three people, and the public is urged to pay attention to fire prevention".
The time of the morning report was exactly the breakfast time of the Kiri's house.
I've already explained what I'm doing, and Tsuru, who finally had a few days of leisure, is drinking black tea while flipping through the newspaper.
"It's a miserable fire that has burned down all the houses, and it seems like there hasn't been such a big fire in Fuyuki City for many years. ”
Sakura put down her knife and fork in a ladylike manner and wiped her mouth, "It's okay, Dad." This will not happen in our house, and my brother and I will use the magic trick taught by the master to extinguish the fire. ”
Tsuru also smiled and said, "Sakura is so reliable, then I'll leave it to you." ”
Shinji followed, "But Sakura, although fire fighting is important, fire prevention is even more important. No matter how small a fire is, it will cause damage, and only if the fire does not burn, there will be no loss. ”
"Got it, brother. Sakura nodded earnestly. In the entire Tong family, what she admires most is this brother who is one year older than her, and she will listen and think about what her brother says.
"I'm full. Yan Ye, who was sitting opposite the brother and sister, put down his chopsticks and stood up, "Go out and come back before lunch." ”
Tsuru also closed the newspaper and casually asked, "Where are you going?"
"The scene of the fire. Yan Ye said as she picked up her coat from the hanger behind her.
Tsuru also quickly understood his brother's thoughts: "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with this fire?"
"Well, every piece of news since the start of the Holy Grail War may be a disguise, just in case, I'm going to check it out. After summoning the servant, Yan Ye has completely entered the state.
Shinji interjected: "I don't recommend that my uncle go to the scene of the fire. ”
Yan Ye moved: "Why?"
Shinji put down his knife and fork and said unhurriedly, "When I heard that news, I had the same thoughts, and other masters might have the same thoughts. In the past of this time, the uncle may be targeted by other masters, and the fact that the uncle has returned to the Makiri family will attract the attention of all parties. ”
Tsuru also proposed: "In that case, don't go to the scene, go to the Fuyuki City Fire Department." I have business dealings with the Fire Department, and you and I will invite the Commissioner for a cup of tea with you. In the past few hours, if it is a camouflaged fire scene, there will be no loopholes in the program. If the other party doesn't cooperate, you use magic to get them to cooperate. ”
"Good idea. Yanye's eyes lit up, "That's it." ”
Just as Tsuruya and Yanya were about to go out, Tosaka Tokitomi received a contact from Yan Feng Lizheng.
"Based on the traces left at the scene, it can be determined that one of the sides of the battle was Caster. The unidentified master wasn't lying, but the master consciously eliminated his information before leaving, and the master was unknown, and the magic he was good at was unknown, and the only one who could tell was that he had arranged a large area of enchantment around the scene, and was a seasoned and cautious magician. ”
After listening to Yan Feng Lizheng's analysis, Tosaka Shichen fell into silence for a while, and only spoke for a while, not to the communication gem, but to Yan Feng Qili, who was standing in front of the desk: "What do you think?"
"At present, the confirmed masters are you, the teacher, the Makiri family, Kenneth Elmeloy Aqipolud, a first-class lecturer from the clock tower, and the son-in-law of the Einzberen family, Emiya Kiritsugu. ”
When he said the last name, Yan Feng Qili's eyes narrowed slightly.
He had heard of this name for a long time, and the detailed information had only been obtained from Tosaka Tokitomi a few days ago.
Emiya Kiritsugu, who was once a killing tool affiliated with the Magic Association, is a notorious magician killer who specializes in hunting magicians in the most inconsistent methods with the magician rules.
Dropping bombs in front of the public, shooting down planes with many passengers, and even indiscriminately carrying out large-scale terrorist attacks, although there is no definite evidence, from the analysis of the intelligence gathered, it is very likely that he did it.
Such a man became the son-in-law of the Einzberen family nine years ago, who never communicated with the outside world, and there was a lot of controversy in the Magic Association, but the people who saw through the truth of this matter, except for the old monster of the Kiriki inkstone, were only the head of the Tosaka family, Tosaka Tokitomi.
The magicians of the Einzberen family, who are only highly skilled in alchemy, are not good at fighting, which is the main reason for their defeat in the Holy Grail War in the past. In order to obtain the Holy Grail, they need outside reinforcements who are good at fighting, and there is no one better suited than the Magician Killer.
Tosaka Tokitomi was understandable for such a choice, but he didn't follow the magician rules, he didn't have a little magician pride, and the magic of using magic as a tool made Emiya Kiritsugu disgust Tosaka Tokitomi, who was proud of his traditional magician, and it was this disgust that aroused Yan Feng's curiosity.
Yan Feng Qili collected his mood and continued to analyze: "Jian Tong Yanye has only been trained in magic for one year, and he does not have the ability to arrange such a large-scale enchantment. Emiya Kiritsugu would not have set up such an enchantment even if he had the ability, and he would choose to drive out the entire residential area. Lord Elmeloi is a proud man and would not inform his father in such a way. ”
Lord is the exclusive title of several ancient families of the Magic Society, and Kenneth is the ninth generation head of one of the ancient families, the Archpolud family, with strength and fame commensurate with his status, and is the most powerful magician in this Holy Grail War.
"The only one left is one of the two except Master Caster. ”
"As I thought, it seems that there are a decent level of magicians coming to participate in this Holy Grail War. Tosaka Tokitomi was satisfied with his disciple's performance, "As the manager of the spirit vein, the Tosaka family's every move will be monitored by other masters, so, Qili. ”
"My teacher. Yan Fengqili bowed his head respectfully.
"I need you to collect information about the two masters on my behalf, the more detailed the better. ”
"Yes, my teacher. ”
Looking at the back of Yan Feng Qili leaving, Tosaka Shichen let out a sigh.
"It would be nice if your stigmata didn't disappear two years ago. ”
Yan Feng Qili was qualified to participate in the war three years ago, and was the first person among all the alternate masters to be engraved with a stigma. It is precisely because of this incident that Shi Chen will accept Qili as a disciple, hoping to combine the power of the two masters to include the Holy Grail in his bag.
However, after Qili studied with Shichen for a year, his stigma suddenly disappeared, which made Tosaka Shichen chagrin to this day.
"Perhaps the servants you summoned are too powerful for the Holy Grail to deprive them of the stigma. Lizheng's voice sounded at the right time.
Thinking of his servant, Shi Chen's mood was much better.
As long as he is there, the Holy Grail will be in his pocket.
